God Want to Work Through Weakness

Thoughts taken from Mark 8:4-8
His disciples answered, "But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?" "How many loaves do you have?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they replied. He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people, and they did so. They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them. The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

When we are in need, often we must look at what we already have because this is where God wants to start working. Yet we often discount this because it doesn't seem good enough. God often wants to take what we think is inadequate and work through that. When He does this, work through our weakness, then His grace and strength shine all the brighter.

So as you look at life, where does God want to shine brightly so others can see His glory? Rejoice in these opportunities and ask God to use them as He wants.
